My 6 year old has been asking a lot of questions about what will happen when we die and I feel bad about saying "I don't know" so I lamely say what some people believe, that no one really knows and maybe he can become a scientist that invents a potion so we live forever. These are crap answers, aren't they? Can anyone give me something better so he doesn't have nightmares.

I think the answers you are giving are actually exceptional. Admitting you don't know is ok.

I particularly like the answer about encouraging him to become a scientist in a truly age-appropriate manner.

Sounds to me like you are a good parent. Keep it up.
